BANANA PICKLES Pickling: The preservation of food in common salt (or) in vinegar is known as pickling. It is one of the most ancient methods of preserving fruits and vegetables. Pickles are good appetizers and add to the palatability of a meal. They stimulate the flow of gastric juice and thus help in digestion. Previous Next End
BANANA PICKLES Raw materials used in pickling: • Salt • Vinegar • Sugar • Spices • Water • Cooking utensils Previous Next End
BANANA PICKLES Pickling process: Pickling is done in two stages 1) By curing (or) fermentation with dry salting (or) fermentation in brine (or) salting without fermentation. 2) By finishing and packing. Pickling is the result of fermentation by lactic acid forming bacteria which are generally present in large numbers on the surface of fresh vegetables and fruits. Previous Next End
BANANA PICKLES Bacteria can grow in acid medium and in the presence of 8-10% salt solution whereas the growth of a majority of undesirable organisms is inhibited. Lactic acid bacteria are most active at 30oC, so this temperature must be maintained as far as possible in the early stage of pickle making. When vegetables are placed in brine, it penetrates into the tissues of the vegetables and soluble material present in them diffuses into the brine by osmosis. Previous Next End
BANANA PICKLES The soluble material includes fermentable sugars and minerals. The sugars serve as food for lactic acid bacteria which convert them into lactic acid and other acids. The acid brine thus formed acts upon vegetables tissues to produce the characteristics taste and aroma of pickle. There are two methods for pickling: 1. Dry salting method 2. Fermentation in brine Previous Next End
